- Description
- Mission and Installation Contracting Command, Directorate of Contracting, Fort Gordon, GA intends to negotiate/award a sole-source contract with NicheVision for the following item(s): ArmedXpert Module Integration S-AXOx0100, Qty 45 Annual Support & Updates - 2nd Yr Specifications: A complete DNA case management tool specifically designed to streamline the DNA interpretation process. Robust enough to deconvolute up to 3-contributor mixtures, the software further excels in ease-of-use and ease of customization for each lab's individual validated thresholds and protocols. quote mark ArmedXpert software allows the user to retrieve data exported from a genetic analysis system and then manipulate and interpret that data. It includes the ability to deconvolute mixtures using proportional allele sharing calculations. The software also has the ability to perform multiple statistical calculations to include stand random match probability and combined probability of inclusion calculations as well as modified random match probabilities (to account for allele drop-out), unrestricted random match probabilities, restricted random match probabilities, and the random match probability associated with multiple allele, anys. The software performs these calculations in a transparent manner and allows the user to see the formulas being using and the calculations performed. This allows users the ability and confidence explain the calculations occurring to others including during court testimony. The software also contains the capability to allow databases to be developed (such as staff databases) and have the samples automatically compared to these databases to help ensure the quality of your samples by checking for contamination. The software also has the ability to compare samples to one another within a case or between cases and visualize those comparisons for easy interpretation. Another functionality is the ability to create disposition forms for CODIS submission or CMF files for entry into CODIS. NicheVision has now added another functionality to the software which is the ability to visualize and manipulate data from the OSIRIS software program. All manipulation of the data to included, applying stutter, clicking off unwanted alleles, and a secondary smoothing of the data occurs within ArmedXpert. The benefit of using the OSIRIS software vs. the current software used for data analysis is the ability to better account for noise, pull up and other artifacts which will allow for a low analytical threshold. The updated ArmedXpert software allows the data from OSIRIS to be leveraged in the most beneficial manner. The NAICS code is 541990. The authority for this non-competitive award is 10 USC 2304(c) (1), Only one responsible Source.
